Exciting news, dear readers: the next spider story, entitled Needs From Below, is finally done except for the formatting and some minor finishing touches. It came in at around 40k words and I'm hoping to have it ready to post by this weekend.

If you've read the prior stories you may remember the Huntsmen, the clandestine organization of spiders with a religious devotion to kidnapping and transforming humans. In Needs From Below, you'll get to meet one of them as she embarks on a trip to Midway in order to get a human of her very own. The big city can be an intimidating place for a simple country spider from the deep underground warrens, but luckily she's got a friend to help her—and this tour guide has her trip all planned out, right down to the unlucky human they plan to claim.

As I said, I'm still wrapping it up... but you can already read a sneak preview at sloth.land! Just click on "Read the preview" to see the first chapter. Check back around Friday for the full story!

Update: It's posted! Go read it!
